Just received these to go over the black brake calipers with the white Cupra writing which just seem to blend into the alloys.
Not an exact match for the copper badges and mystery blue paint but close enough. Its a wheel's off job so will give it a go at the weekend and post some pictures up.

Hi,

New member here and just ordered a 290 lux in desire red. I've been told to expect delivery last week of June. Reading this thread that may be a long shot lol.

I got a deal through an NHS discount card and the email I got put me through to a company called motorfinity but the lease is actually honoured by leasing options, just with discount applied with being an NHS employee.

Very happy with the deal and cannot wait for the delivery.
I've ordered the same model, except with the pano roof, hoping for mine to arrive around Easter time! :)

Is anyone ever using Eco mode, the D1 chages to E1 etc but you have to change to individual mode each journey? The gearbox drops into neutral whenever the accelerator is not pressed. The mpg is amazing, even better than my 1.4 A4 with the same gearbox. Then just flick the box into S to overtake and you get all the acceleration without the fake noise, also the DSG farts are also strong!

I use engine breaking quite a lot, so coasting in neutral isn't too practical for me. Most of my miles are made in Normal mode, which I think also has the sound actor disabled.

Anyone else’s rear lights on all the time when the engine is on? Mine are when set to auto and the off position? Is this normal?

Even rears? Is that standard now?

It used to be an option called 'Scandinavian' style on VW's. You could activate it via Carista etc as in the UK we only had the front DRL's activated.

From browsing many forums it seems the rears being on are a new permanent addition :)

You have to go into vehicle settings and tick for auto wiping, otherwise position 1 is normal intermittent. I drove it for a week thinking the auto wipers were just a bit crap.

Can you record it? I've been looking for res delete recordings for the new 290.
